A high flying female tennis coach is facing jail after being found guilty of molesting her 13-year-old protege. Claire Lyte, 29, a former Wimbledon player, instigated a year-long affair with the teenager, who was touted as one of English tennis’s rising stars. The couple, who met when Lyte was appointed as the youngster’s coach, were caught by the girl’s mother having sex. Lyte also wore the youngster’s underwear and shared a bed with her at hotels during tournaments. Lyte, who was hand picked to be one of the country’s leading coaches for emerging talent, had been warned several times by the Lawn Tennis Association about her behaviour around all of her charges at the association’s national academy in Loughborough. She was accused of being too familiar with them and spending too much time off court with them and was eventually given a verbal and then final written warning. However, behind the scenes she and the girl became extremely close. Lyte had her staying with her at her parents’ home in Solihull, west Mids, and accompanied her to tournaments, staying in the same hotel bed, when there was no need. She also stayed at the girl’s family home on Merseyside, with the blessing of the girl’s mother.
